Barry Hall throws down boxing challenge

OSTN Staff

Hall, who made his pro debut in a drawn fight against former league star Paul Gallen in 2019, said he didn’t buy Williams’ excuses about needing some warm up fights.The AFL great said it was time to put up and get in the ring with him.“It’s now time for action! Warm ups and excuses about preparation are getting old,’’ Hall posted Sunday night on Instagram.“I’m looking for 2 more fights with one of them being you and I think we all know who the other is if things go how I think they will!!“Time to commit now! Feb 2022! LET’S GO!!”The former Sydney premiership captain who became known as Big Bad bustling Barry, has just been a contestant on brutal military style series SAS Australia.Hall, 44, said he’s confused because former rugby and league star Williams is nine years younger than him and has had eight wins from eight fights.“Was regarded as the best athlete in the world by many and only retired less than 12 months ago as a professional athlete!’’ Hall wrote.“From my stand point … I’ve had 1 fight! (We really know the true result of that!)“Have not been a professional athlete for 10 years! “But I don’t need or want a warm up I’m happy to fight now. This fight has been in the making for over 12 months now and due to “Covid” there has been delays! (But I’ve seen many other fight cards go ahead?) hmmmmm …”Hall received supportive comments from his SAS castmates Anna Heinrich and Simone Holtznagel. His fiance Lauren Brant is due any day now with their third child — the couple have two sons.
